Borderlands 2 has gone gold

Borderlands 2 is done and dusted according to a tweet from Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford. "Borderlands 2 is now GOLD" he exclaims. Now they just have to print the discs and train an army of puppies to nudge them gently into thousands of plastic boxes. That'll take about a month it seems, as Borderlands 2 is due out on September 18. If only we had invented a better way of putting the discs in the boxes, but no CEO alive can bring themselves to approve a redundancy package for 10,000 puppies.

Borderlands 2 is looking good. We've had a few peeks behind the trailers and been reasonably impressed by what's shaping up to be an honest and pleasantly bonkers extension of the original.

Borderlands 2 will look SUPER SHINY on PC as well, thanks to a series of PC optimisation features . Mmm, tasty tasty optimisation features.
